“Getting the 10 covers together has been an exciting challenge for the NME team. We’ve brought together a really varied group of musicians from global icons like Jack White and Rihanna, innovators like MIA and LCD Soundsystem to exciting newcomers in the form of dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man,” explained NME editor Krissi Murison of the special edition’s cover stars.
